22. There is no head worse than the head of a serpent,
23. and there is no anger above the anger of a wife. It would be more agreeable to abide with a lion or a dragon, than to live with a wicked wife.
24. A wicked wife changes her face. And she darkens her countenance like a bear. And she displays it like sackcloth. In the midst of her neighbors,
25. her husband groans, and hearing of this, he sighs a little.
26. All malice is brief compared to the malice of a wife. Let the fate of sinners fall upon her!
27. As climbing over sand is to the feet of the aged, so is a talkative wife to a quiet man.
28. You should not favor a woman's beauty, and you should not desire a wife for her beauty.
29. The anger and disrespect and shame from a wife can be great.
30. The wife, if she has primacy, is set against her husband.
31. A wicked wife debases the heart, and saddens the face, and wounds the heart.
32. A wife who does not make her husband happy enfeebles the hands and weakens the knees.
33. The beginning of sin came from a woman; and through her, we all die.
34. You should not provide an exit to your water, not even a little; nor should you give permission for a wicked wife to exceed the limit.
35. If she will not walk at your hand, she will confound you in the sight of your enemies.
36. Tear her away from your body, lest she abuse you continually.
